Among my first insulators...this photograph was taken sometime in 1975.
{From left to right} A porcelain unipart, two porcelain spools, and a Hemingray 42 - all on pins (cobs).

September 11, 2001.
A day that will be forever remembered.
Never forget the victims of the World Trade Center,
the Pentagon, and the passengers on the four lost flights.

Please feel free to take one of these and place it on your own website.This newspaper clipping is from the March 27 2001 Brisbane Courier Mail from Australia!

And this is the graphic on some very cool notebook paper that a fan of this website made,
using the graphic on the top of this very web page. With my permission, of course.
Made by D.H. and L.H. of California.

My First PhonesTM :-)
"Insulaters" and phones go together. You simply can't have one without the other.

A telephone operator's headset that Rick from Alaska sent me in autumn 2003.
It's on top of my old crank-up wall telephone right now, so you can't have it. ;-)

Scroll down to see what's new. New items & programming are always being added.

August 18 2001: Updated the collection page a bit after selling a prized specimen.
That page needs an overhaul anyway because my collection is out of control. :-O
The window display has been rebuilt and make quake-resistant.

February 28 2001: A magnitude 6.8-7.0 quake ripped Seattle apart. 1 dead and 750+ hurt. Damage was widespread,
and included at least one large insulator collection... mine.

Last Updated 01-16-17
Updated the "My Collection" page to eliminate all but TWOinsulators from my once-extensive collection because our offsite storage units were auctioned off due to nonpayment of rent. Best viewed on a 800x600 screen. I cannot test or verify appearance at other resolutions.
